In Debussy’s centenary year, the Piatti Quartet – prizewinners at the 2015 Wigmore Hall International String Quartet Competition – perform the composer’s only contribution to the quartet medium as part of their Turner Sims debut. Beethoven’s self-titled work is his most compact quartet whilst Mendelssohn’s final quartet which opens the programme was dedicated to his sister Fanny and completed only a few weeks before his own death.
